Diagnosis of Skin Cancer

Diagnosis begins with a detailed clinical assessment of the affected area. This may include dermatoscopy, biopsy or excision to confirm the nature of the lesion. Results are discussed clearly, and patients are provided with an explanation of the diagnosis and recommended next steps.

Prompt and accurate diagnosis supports early treatment and improved outcomes.

Treatment and Ongoing Care

Treatment options depend on the type, size and location of the skin cancer, as well as individual patient factors. At Wauchope Skin Clinic, management may include:

  • Skin biopsy for diagnosis
  • Cryotherapy (freezing treatment)
  • Topical therapy where appropriate
  • Minor surgery and excision of skin cancers

These treatments may be used for conditions such as:

  • Actinic keratoses
  • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC)
  • Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)
  • Suspected melanoma

Where skin cancers require more complex surgical management, referral will be arranged to the appropriate specialist to ensure comprehensive care.

A clear treatment plan is provided, including information about aftercare, follow-up appointments and ongoing monitoring to support long-term skin health.

Clear Follow-Up and Monitoring

Follow-up care is an important part of skin cancer management. Patients receive guidance on wound care, monitoring for recurrence and recommended intervals for future skin checks based on their personal history and risk factors.

Ongoing monitoring supports early identification of further skin cancers and timely management where required.

Early-stage and less complex skin cancers are treated within the clinic, with referral arranged where more complex surgical management is required.

How is skin cancer diagnosed?

Diagnosis begins with clinical examination and dermatoscopy. 

Where indicated, a skin biopsy or excision may be performed to confirm the diagnosis. Results are explained clearly, and appropriate treatment options are discussed based on the type and extent of the skin cancer.

What treatment options are available?

Treatment depends on the type, size and location of the skin cancer. Management at Wauchope Skin Clinic may include skin biopsy, cryotherapy (freezing treatment), topical therapy or minor surgical excision. 

A clear treatment plan and follow-up schedule are provided to support recovery and ongoing monitoring.

Will I receive aftercare instructions? 

Yes. If treatment is performed, patients are given clear aftercare instructions, including wound care guidance, potential side effects and when to seek review.

Will I need ongoing follow-up after skin cancer treatment?

A previous diagnosis of skin cancer increases the risk of developing further skin cancers. At Wauchope Skin Clinic, follow-up recommendations are tailored to individual risk risk and may include regular skin checks at three, six or twelve month intervals.
